Since Romney’s dad was born in Mexico, this makes no sense to me.
Grandparents have whay to do with it?

I didn't think it made any sense to you because you don't even understand what his grandparents have to do with it.

When you are born outside of the United States to U.S. citizens then you have U.S. citizenship at birth. George Romney was born to U.S. citizens, from Utah, that were living in a Mormon church colony in Chihuahua, Mexico. So he was born a U.S. citizen at birth. According to Mexican law at the time, he never had Mexican citizenship because he was born to American parents. Mexico abided by versions of jus sanguinis citizenship, Latin for “right of blood,” with birthright citizenship only granted to children born to citizens of Mexico. So, if he could not claim Mexican citizenship, would he have no citizenship at all? There were some who claimed that he was not a “natural” born citizen because he was not born on U.S. soil. So maybe he wasn’t eligible for President, but Mitt Romney was born in Detroit to two U.S. citizens and is definitely a “natural” born U.S. citizen.

When you are born on US soil you are an American citizen. Saying Obama was not born here is arguable so that should be the sole basis of the argument, not where your parents were born.
